At least she had a legitimate problem. I might be tempted to use my window valet's speedo-is-stuck-at-40-mph novelty feature.

And here's a question...what exactly is the state funded grant program? Does that mean I'm safe up to 75MPH?

That was very nice. I suppose you didn't have to give her a break based on the 75 mph standard given to cite
I know when I'm speeding and when I'm not so if I get stopped, I won't argue. I've found if you show some respect and acknowlege your misdeed, the LEO's are more inclined to give a break.
I hear people gripe about the bad attitudes some officers have. Well, I would probably have a bad attitude as well if I was lied to with such regularity. I'm happy knowing that Law Enforcement is keeping the highways safe for me and my family. And if they catch me, well that's my fault.
I find it amusing that some of the you would even print the lies you might use if you get caught (GTC for example). Are the forum member LEO's making a list?

Chad, you're a class guy. I find that most LEOS are like you if people would just give them a chance to be. The problem is that many people break the law get pulled over then cop an attitude like it was the LEOS fault they got pulled over. When the leo responds to the attitude with attitude people think he's being a jerk. Some of us appreciate the job you guys are doing out there. Have a safe holiday.
